John Duckworth (born 19 January 1949) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy in the VFL as well as West Perth and Central District. His younger brother Billy was a premiership player at Essendon.
A West Australian, Duckworth started his senior career in Victoria with Fitzroy. He had been in Melbourne due to National Service training and after approaching Fitzroy found himself recruited for the 1970 season. Duckworth played 11 games that year but didn't play again until 1974 as a result of both his military commitments and a stint in Vietnam. His last VFL season was in 1976 and the following year he returned to Western Australia where he joined West Perth. He played 44 games over two years, during which time he represented his state at interstate football.
In 1979 he was picked up by SANFL club Central District and in his debut season won the Magarey Medal, topped the club's goalkicking and played interstate football for his second state. A ruptured kidney at the start of the 1980 season kept him out for most of the year and at the end of the season he decided to return to West Perth to finish his career. He played 42 games for Central District and finshed with a total of 120 games for West Perth.
